The alarm persists until the alarmgas concentration returns to an acceptable range. You can useFleet Manager II via an IntelliDoX station to enable the display of the gas concentration reading during an alarm. Battery life decreases rapidly when the detector is in alarm condition.Low AlarmAudible: 1 beep per secondVisual: 1 flash per secondVibration: 1 vibration per secondHigh AlarmAudible: 2 beeps per secondVisual: 2 flashes per secondVibration: 2 vibrations per secondOver-Limit and Under-Limit AlarmsIf the gas concentration is beyond the sensor range, OL(over-limit) or -OL (under-limit) is displayed.Audible: 2 beeps per secondVisual: 2 flashes per secondVibration: 2 vibrations per second2ModelsFor O2models only, the Automatic Zero Reminder isdisplayed when more than 24 hours have elapsed sincethe last successful zero procedure was performed. Peak ReadingsThe peak readings symbol is displayed when the sensoris exposed to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarmsetpoints. It is no longer displayed when more than24 hours have passed since the last alarm, or when a successful bump test is performed via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station. Non-compliance Symbol and LED Indicators The non-compliance warning symbol is displayed when:•an internal diagnostic test fails;• a bump test or zero procedure fails;• a bump test is due, if enabled;•the sensor is exposed to a gas concentration that exceeds alarm setpoints, if enabled.The non-compliance warning symbol is no longer displayed when more than 24 hours have passed since the last alarm, or when a successful bump test is performed via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station. The non-compliance warning symbol is permanently displayed when the service-life countdown reaches 24 hours or less before expiry, and for up to 30 days after expiry.When Non-compliance after gas exposure is enabled throughFleet Manager II via an IntelliDoX station, the LEDs flash in an alternating pattern when the non-compliance warning symbol is displayed. When the symbol is first displayed, the top LEDs flash. After 30 seconds, the side LEDs flash. After 30 seconds, the pattern repeats until the non-compliance warning symbol is no longer displayed.NOTE: When the detector is bump tested via a MicroDock II station, an abnormal test result may occur if non-compliance LEDs are flashing.To suspend the flashing for up to 10 minutes, press and release the pushbutton. When the flashing stops, insert the detector and perform the test. If the bump test fails, the LEDs resume flashing.Recall Events and SettingsWhen the detector is in normal operating mode, press the pushbutton at any time to scroll through events and settings that are not empty or disabled through Fleet Manager II via an IntelliDoX station. Events and settings are displayed in this order:1.Peak Reading , if available, and when a maximum gas exposure event has occurred within the past 24 hours.2.Time of Peak Reading , if Real-time Clock display is enabled.3.Low Alarm Setpoint4.High Alarm Setpoint5.Real-time Clock , if enabled.6.Firmware Version7.Next Bump Due , if enabled.8.Hibernation , for 2-year H 2S and CO hibernation models only.While an event or setting is displayed, press the pushbutton to scroll to the next available event or setting. If you do not press the pushbutton, or if you have reached the last available event or setting, the detector returns to normal operation.Zero the SensorOver time and through use, the sensor baseline at zero exposure may drift from the manufacturer’s baseline. For optimal performance of O 2 models, BW recommends that you zero the O 2 sensor once every 24 hours or when the Automatic Zero Reminder is displayed. For all other models, BW recommends that you zero the sensor periodically.Zero Procedure1.Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O 2) that is free of hazardous gas.2.Press and hold the pushbutton until a 5 second countdown is displayed, and then continue to hold until the countdown is complete.3.When the countdown is complete, the Zero procedure begins and ZErO is displayed.4.When Zero is successful, PASS is displayed, and thenthe detector returns to normal operation.5.If Zero is not successful, the non-compliance LED flashes. FAIL and the non-compliance warning symbol are displayed. Press the pushbutton to acknowledge the result and return to normal operation. The non-compliance warning symbol is displayed and the non-compliance LED flashes. Perform the Zero procedure again. If the procedure fails again, contact BW.Bump TestsWhen the detector is configured to display a bump test reminder, the bump test symbol is displayed when a bump test is due. For best results, bump test the detector via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station. Bump tests performed via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station are logged as bump tests. Manual bump tests are logged as unsafe gas concentrations.Event LogsThe detector stores the last 35 events that occurred, including peak readings, bump tests and auto zeros. Each record contains:•detector serial number, sensor type and life-remaining;•total number of events that have occurred;•event type and duration;•alarm level(s) in ppm or %;•time elapsed since the alarm occurred in days/hours/minutes;•duration of the alarm (minutes/seconds).Use Fleet Manager II via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station to transfer event logs from the detector to a computer. When logs are transferred via an IntelliDoX station, the most recent 35 events are transferred. When logs are transferred via a MicroDock II station, the most recent 10 events are transferred.Optional SettingsUse Fleet Manager II via an IntelliDoX station to enable the following optional settings for BW Clip detectors.Display Gas Reading During AlarmWhen Display gas reading during alarm is enabled, the gas concentration is displayed when a gas alarm event is detected. The gas concentration is displayed until the alarm event ends.Non-compliance After Gas ExposureWhen Non-compliance after gas exposure is enabled, the LEDs flash in an alternating pattern when the sensor is exposed to a gas concentration that exceeds alarm setpoints. When the gas exposure is detected, the top LEDs flash. After 30 seconds, the side LEDs flash. After 30 seconds, the pattern repeats until more than 24 hours have passed since the last alarm, or when a successful bump test is performed via an IntelliDoX or MicroDock II station.Real-time Clock DisplayWhen Real-time Clock Display is enabled, you can display the current time by pressing the pushbutton to Recall Events and Settings , and then continuing to press the pushbutton until the time is displayed.Time may be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour clock format.HibernationHibernation is a factory installed feature that is available for 24-month H 2S and CO detectors.
